Hopefully this does not sound like a "rant", because I'm not pissed off, but I really did not know where else to post this question.

I was on the Acoustic Sounds website this morning and saw this:

What's this all of a sudden interest in Klipsch, i see they do advertise a lot recently? Come on, plywood public address speakers. All of a sudden are in high end audio systems. And those who mock Legacy WHISPERS, which are a work of art, with sound to match. Plywood PA systems. Klipsch is another old name gone down to Best Buy status. StereoPhile takes it along for the ride. A giant cumbersome UGLY speaker that was developed for PA use decades ago. Is now a current fav.

Has anybody purchased/auditioned this? How do they compare against the Valhallas?

thanks

Hello everyone, So I've been on the road working for the last 5 years and suddenly find myself with a house and a crappy old stereo that needs to be replaced... I was hoping some of you might give me some advice for what I should be looking for... I have no problem with new or vintage gear... just want something that will light up if I want to crank it... Now I see some of you guys are pushing the cash envelope... I'll take my time and buy stuff a piece at a time. when i can afford it. but I'm not in that 10,000 for an amp range any help would be great thanks Tonedog
